At the forum, Spanish Minister Margarita Robles will announce a new package of military aid that Madrid will send. Estonia will also announce that it is sending military electronics, millions of rounds of ammunition and significant quantities of projectiles.

The two leaders reaffirmed their commitment to maintaining peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait. In addition, the presidents reiterated their firm support for Ukraine, which is fighting against brutal Russian aggression, the White House said in a statement.
